LOAD WHEEL ASSEMBLY
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the SU S254-XL-A compatible with all electric lift truck models?
A: No. The SU S254-XL-A is an XL-series assembly designed for specific lift truck frames and load capacities. Always verify your truck model and serial range against the compatibility matrix before ordering. Incorrect fitment will result in binding, wobbling, or bearing failure under load.
Q: What is the maximum load capacity for the SU S254-XL-A?
A: Load capacity depends on the complete assembly configuration and truck frame design. The XL designation indicates a reinforced load wheel assembly rated for extended duty cycles. Refer to your truck nameplate and assembly specifications for exact load limits. Exceeding rated capacity will accelerate bearing wear and wheel degradation.
Q: Can I retrofit the SU S254-XL-A onto my existing electric lift truck?
A: Retrofit feasibility depends on mounting geometry, axle diameter, and bearing bore. Do not assume cross-compatibility. Contact your parts supplier with your truck model and current wheel assembly part number to confirm retrofit compatibility. Installing an incompatible assembly may require custom adapters or axle modification.
Q: What maintenance does the SU S254-XL-A require?
A: Inspect wheel runout and bearing play every 500 operating hours. Check for cracks, flat spots, or tread separation. Bearing lubrication schedule depends on environment; humid or dusty conditions require more frequent inspection. Replace the assembly if bearing noise develops, runout exceeds 0.125 inch, or wheel degradation affects truck handling.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the SU S254-XL-A?
A: Service life ranges from 2 to 5 years depending on operating conditions, load profile, and floor surface. Concrete floors with debris cause faster wear than clean epoxy surfaces. Poor truck maintenance, misalignment, or overloading significantly reduce lifespan. Monitor bearing condition and wheel wear rate to predict replacement timing.
